Lock - Disable/Enable Pin

I've downloaded the Lock Enable/Disable PIN from Wikidot; along with Secure Settings

I'm connected to a Trusted Wifi and the task to disable the PIN is green but it still requires a PIN to unlock

I have a Galaxy S4 and corporate email that requires a PIN. Thought Tasker could bypass this requirement.

Any help?
 
I have a profile that does this. The disable PIN function requires you to unlock it at least once, otherwise someone could just walk near your house or spoof a wifi connection and have access to your data.

If yours doesn't work after you've unlocked it once, let us know but this is definitely possible on some phones at least because it's working fine on my S4.

I don't know how familiar you are with Tasker but you can run tasks on their own (ie without faffing around triggering a profile). If you run the task on its own, what happens?
 
No, I wrote (if that is the right word) it myself with a bit of help from someone here.

I looked at exporting profiles but, like everything to do with Tasker (which is great in most other ways) it looked ridiculously complicated for such a simple task so I gave up, otherwise I'd just post it here.

The profile is triggered by a "Wifi Connected" state. The entry task is, logically enough, called "Disable PIN" and the exit task "Enable PIN".

The "Disable PIN" task is Secure Settings Configuration Clear Password/Wait for Unlock.
The "Enable PIN" task is Secure Settings Configuration Set Pin.

That did it for me.

Do you access corporate email and if so do they have policies for your phone?

I have an iPhone 5 for work (including corporate email and of course policies) but the S4 is my own.

Sorry I didn't read your post carefully enough and missed that bit.
 
must be the corporate policy overriding tasker because it's not working

anyone else with the same issue??

Just confirming that a corporate policy will override secure settings/tasker profiles

The corporate policy for mine keeps the secure settings plug in from working.

All of my lock screen select options in settings are "grayed out" within the settings menu except "Pin" and "Password".

As an alternative, I created the profile in the attached thread to login for me (since secure settings plug in doesnt work for me).
